Only Pleasure: Part Two by Lora Leigh

Sinful pleasure and forbidden desire rule in the second
part of #1 bestselling author Lora Leigh's novel Only Pleasure, previously
published in trade paperback and now exclusively in ebook format.

Kia is a dream Chase has not allowed himself to entertain. Now that he has her,
it's her heart he's after and he's determined to win it, no matter the cost.
And even though they both agreed that it would only be for pleasure, a feeling
deeper than all-consuming lust and illicit pleasure has taken hold of them...

Mary Jo – ☆☆☆☆
Chase Falladay has nearly lost it all in his short life. Losing his parents at
an early age, then being estranged from his twin almost killed him. Now, as
life is starting to look up for both him and Cole, Kia Rutherford strolls back
into his life.

He's done his best to keep watch over from afar, but realizes he's failed her
when he finds out that her deplorable ex-husband, and member of The Club,
has been harassing her. Again. Determined to make that low life scumbag leave
her alone, he's willing to do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Except love
her. Be with her. Make her his.

The only way to keep his heart safe is have Khalid with him when he introduces
Kia to the world of ménage. And even then, he knows that nothing is safe when
it comes to Kia.

When Chase learns that Kia has been hurt in a mugging gone wrong, he feels the
mantle of guilt weigh over him and his inability to keep this one lone female
safe. Imagine his further surprise when he learns that Kia isn't willing to
accept any further trysts with him and Khalid. It’s Chase or nothing.

Chase knows that there is something going on that he can't see. He can feel the
tingles of danger all around and he must do what he can to keep the woman he
loves safe. Even if he can't bring himself to show her the true Chase.

This is the second part of the story – do make sure you read part one first.
This is part of a longstanding series, so there are many side characters from
previous books – it is, however, possible to enjoy Only Pleasure on its own.

Now that Chase has indulged in Kia, he is realising that he has somehow got her
under his skin – this amuses his friends to no end, but certainly doesn't make
him happy. After a difficult youth, he is sworn off relationships – just for
pleasure is his motto – and Kia is causing him to re-evaluate his rules. At the
same time, she is coming out of her shell and working hard to get her life
back. However, there is someone out there who does not want her to live again,
and her safety is definitely in question. All these things in one installment
leave a lot of questions to be answered in the finale – and I am looking
forward to finding how they are all resolved.

Rachael – ☆☆☆☆
This installment of this series was a good second part. We got to watch as Kia
and Chase became a couple instead of a threesome, and it was sweet. I really
liked watching the relationship start to really bloom between them. However, I
still didn't like that we were just supposed to roll with the fact that both
characters had these long-standing emotions.

The threat that there is still something bad lingering around Kia and Chase is
there and I can't wait to get a resolution for it. And I can't wait until they
both get over their fears and finally confess to their feelings.

I will say that while I think the bedroom scenes are hot, I do feel like they
are quite heavy throughout the book and I find myself wanting more casual
interaction between the two of them to show that they can get along and have a
normal relationship when they aren't doing naughty things. I also wouldn't mind
seeing more of Khalid since he brought a little something special to them even
though he was the third.

#1 New York Times bestseller, LORA LEIGH is the author of the Navy
SEALS, the Breeds, the Elite Ops, the Callahans, the Bound Hearts, and the
Nauti series.
"Lora Leigh writes compelling, red-hot romance." – Sacramento Book Review
